It looks like a spider nest like the one we had in a small fruit tree growing in a corner of the playground, at a daycare where I worked, we were told by a knowledgeable parent that the type of spiders were harmful, painful bites I believe (but that could be a faulty memory.)

It looks like a caterpillar infestation just beginning. We have them in MN & they do kill the trees. Advise that I received was to cut the branch off & burn it to get rid of the bugs & any eggs on it. Don't let it get too big ~~ I have seen very large trees covered with the webs & can see the caterpillars squirming around inside. yuck !!!
Don’t spray with pesticides its the beginning of whooly aphids. Just spray them off with a hose every couple days until they hit the ground and they will not return to the host. You can spray soapy water on them as well and scrub with a brush but the hose is most effective.
Woolly Aphid or Erisoma lanigerum is a type of sucking insect that lives on the fluid of plants and trees. Adults are approximately 2 mm in length and are a pinkish brown color. Each adult can produce up to five live young per day. The young Woolly Aphids are green or blue in color. After a few generations winged adults develop to spread to new branches and nearby trees.

I would take the pruning shears to it and remove it. It looks like a possible fungus. Clean the pruning shears with rubbing alcohol.

Spray it with a fruit tree spray (fungicide) before cutting off the limb.
